‘It’s important I actively participat­e in my wellness’

-

Do you drink and/or smoke — if so, how much?

No, I don’t smoke and I don’t really like the taste or the effect of alcohol.

Do you take any health supplement­s?

I take multivitam­ins, an oral spray of Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D. I like to think I can get most of what I need from a nourishing, wholesome diet.

How do you take time out?

I love being outside and away from the city. The ocean and mountains are where I feel most at rest, so most weekends that is where we head to for a change of pace and time to recharge.

How well do you sleep?

I sleep really well. I could sleep anywhere at any stage of the day. I often feel I still experience the lingering symptoms of glandular fever, so the temptation to sleep too much is one I face most days.

Do you worry about getting old?

I don’t worry about getting old, however I do feel a huge responsibi­lity to keep myself healthy and well as I move through stages in my life. It’s so important to me that I actively participat­e in my health and wellness as much as I can, while I can. It makes me sad to see people faced with major health issues in later life, wishing they’d taken better care of themselves when they were younger.

What is your go-to product/ habit that keeps you feeling healthy?

It sounds so simple but for me it’s fresh air and movement. It’s so liberating to spend time outdoors. I know the body loves activity, it thrives off it and repays us with endorphins (our happy hormones) and leaves us feeling more resilient, clearer in mind and more energised to face the day.
